(IN CHAMBERS) ORDER by Judge Kenly Kiya Kato: The Court is in receipt of Respondents' Response and Petitioner's Reply filed in response to this Court's December 23, 2025 Order to Show Cause ("OSC") why the Court should not issue a preliminary injunction. (Dkts. 9, 10 ). In light of the bond hearing held on December 30, 2025, (Dkt. 9 at 1), and Petitioner's representation that Petitioner is currently "subject to an ankle monitoring and strict conditions of supervision," (Dkt. 10 at 14), Petitioner's request for injunctive relief relating to Petitioner's detention appears to be moot. To the extent Petitioner seeks injunctive relief beyond the scope of this Court's December 23, 2025 Order, (Dkt. 8 ), such request is DENIED because such issues have not been properly briefed. Accordingly, the Court declines to issue a preliminary injunction. The Court's December 23, 2025 OSC is DISCHARGED. IT IS SO ORDERED. THERE IS NO PDF DOCUMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ENTRY.
